Does Lockton Affinity sell track insurance in the great white north?

They are one of the big companies that sells track insurance here in the US.

Both are valid statements and do not contradict each other.

I crashed my brand new 2022 BRZ (only 1 week old).

I was on the race track and hence have no insurance. I am in the hole big time and am desperately trying to locate a wreck or some well priced parts.

I need the following:

1. Full Front fascia
2. Bonnet
3. Fenders / Guards (left and right)
4. Radiator support
5. Radiator condenser
6. Doors (left and right)
7. Headlights (left and right). I am in Australia so the regulations are different.

Would appreciate it if anyone could assist.

Commiserations mate. I'm in Vic but will alert you if I see any of the bits you need.

Sorry to hear mate, hopefully a simple repair.

Geeze there are some insensitive people out there.

Not sure what relevance gap or track insurance has to this threat. I don't have insurance coverage. Period

Please reach out of you can assist with well priced parts. I am in Australia but can arrange international shipping if the price is right.

That's not illegal in AU?

Eventually we will learn that OP is twelve years old and hopes to fix the car before his parents discover it.

I don't think it's insensitive at all. You knew the risk, did it anyway, and it bit you in the ass. The relevance of track insurance is that would have coverage for the accident after your deductible. And wouldn't have to worry about finding and shipping used parts. Gap is relevant due to the diminished value of the vehicle after a wreck.

When I still had my NA as a track rat, I had no problem throwing it around on track because it wasn't my daily driver, I paid cash for it and all the mods, and figured if I wadded it up, I just buy another and swap over any remaining good parts.

Gap insurance won't help with diminished value. All gap insurance does for you is make up the difference between the book and loan values if the car is totaled. It doesn't help one little bit if not written off.

Good to know, I didn't realize it only covered a total loss.
